About Granier Bakery

Pans Granier was founded originally in 1988, as a Spanish bakery focusing on providing delicious, traditionally made baked goods to the local neighbourhood. It was established as a brand in 2010, and has grown with enormous success over the past 20 years, to become an internationally recognised brand. Pans Granier operates across Europe, with over 350 stores at present.

The brand focuses upon traditional, artisanal bread-making techniques, providing high quality, freshly made produce, as well as serving hot drinks and snacks in store. The franchise is ideal for anyone passionate about bread-making, and keen to work with a highly reputed and respected brand in the food and drinks industry.

How much does the fee for a Pans Granier bakery franchise cost?

Costs to start a Pans Granier franchise depending on the type of franchise you may choose to open. Potential franchise owners can choose between opening a ‘Granier Express’ or an express franchise, or a medium sized franchise.

The express franchise model is based on a small and easy to manage store, ideally for spaces of 40–50 metres squared, with a small number of staff. This requires an investment of approximately £65,000.

The medium sized franchise is for a larger stand alone store, which requires an investment of approximately £150,000. For both franchises, you would need to pay a down payment of £7,000 up front, to secure a territory.

Both franchises may incur additional costs, such as rent and lease costs, machinery and equipment, furnishing, displays and staff costs. These will vary depending on the size of the franchise store, as well as the location, and other factors.

Which Pans Granier franchise is right for you?

Pans Granier offers two types of franchises, which may suite potential franchise owners with different levels of experience, financial investment and market opportunities. The smaller, express franchise model is ideal for a small store, located in an area with high levels of footfall, such as a department store or mall. The franchise store is designed to be accessible from the front, with limited or no space for seating in-store. As it is smaller and requires a lower level of investment, this may be ideal for anyone with limited financial resources, or for existing franchisees interested in expanding to additional territories or stores.

The medium franchise is designed for a large, stand alone store, with a larger floor area that would allow space for café style seating. This is an ideal option for more experienced franchisees.
